New series starting on Wednesday, 16th November, at 10.45pm on BBC1 - but only 30 minutes per episode!

I saw this advertised too and wondered how different it will be from the UK edition. Only half an hour means that they will probably have to get straight to the point. Will watch with interest.

Hi everyone,

Yes, it's going to be great to finally get to see these episodes here in the UK. At the moment only two instalments – Steve Buscemi and Ashley Judd – are scheduled, but there may be others lined up for the future.

As for the running time: a lot of TV shows in the US only last for between 30 and 45 minutes to make space for the adverts, so it will be interesting to see if they've refined the format any more from the first series in 2010. Let us know what you think on Wednesday, anyway...
